BNS Power industries
Industries we serve
Military-grade power solutions across mission-critical sectors. Experience in the most demanding environments lets us bring the same reliability, safety and precision to every industry.
Maritime & Defense
Trusted by the U.S. Navy, Coast Guard and commercial maritime operators. Since 1986 we have supplied marine electrical equipment to the military shipbuilding industry, with an established presence on many current Navy and Coast Guard platforms. Key personnel bring over 40 years of shipboard electrical equipment design and construction experience.
Who we serve
- Naval vessels
- Coast Guard cutters
- Military Sealift Command
- Commercial maritime
Aboard today
- USCGC Healy (WAGB-20): HV & LV switchboards, MCCs, motor controllers
- LPD 17 class: relay and control panels, motor controllers, push-button stations, duct heaters, water mist panels
- National Security Cutter: LV switchboards, EGFD
- Littoral Combat Ship: LV switchboards
- DDG 51 class: multi-function monitors
- LHA 6 class: water mist panels
Defense-critical capabilities
- 450V COTS shock-mitigated switchboards
- 6,600V and 4,160V vibration-resistant switchgear
- MIL-DTL-2212 motor controllers
- PLC-based local and remote automation
- Custom generator control panels
- Shipboard structured cabling and comms to NAVSEA MIL-STD-2042 / 2052 (with BNS Networks)
- Crew training and equipment familiarization
Data Centers
Complete lifecycle power solutions for uptime, security and operational safety in mission-critical data environments, from enterprise and colocation facilities to cloud providers and edge sites. Switchgear and distribution are custom-engineered to your capacity plan and redundancy model, using the same shock-hardened designs we build for the Navy. Paired with BNS Networks, we deliver the power distribution and the white space as one program.
Capabilities
- Arc-resistant medium voltage switchgear
- Low voltage distribution with advanced circuit protection
- SCADA with remote monitoring and predictive analytics
- Arc flash risk mitigation and safety systems
- Preventive maintenance with trend analysis
- Redundant N+1 and 2N architectures with automated failover
Industrial & Commercial
Industrial operations demand power systems that withstand harsh environments, continuous operation and unpredictable loads. Our marine-specified designs were built for exactly that, and most of the engineering carries straight over to a plant floor or process facility. Commercial facilities need reliability balanced with efficiency and integration with building management systems, especially in healthcare and emergency services.
Applications
- Manufacturing facilities
- Petrochemical plants
- Mining operations
- Water and wastewater treatment
- Healthcare facilities
- High-rise buildings
- Institutional campuses
- Large-scale retail
Capabilities
- Safety-first design with arc flash mitigation
- Rapid fault isolation for process continuity
- Power quality monitoring and optimization
- NEC, NESC, IEEE and ANSI compliance
- Retrofit of aging infrastructure with minimal disruption
- Custom switchgear, MCCs and relay coordination
Critical Infrastructure
Critical infrastructure is the backbone of national security and public safety. Drawing on our defense experience, we design power systems with multi-layered security and resilience: physical hardening, advanced monitoring, and rapid recovery from disruption.
Applications
- Electric utilities
- Transportation systems
- Public safety networks
- Government facilities
Capabilities
- NERC CIP-compliant medium and low voltage distribution
- Advanced protective relaying and coordination
- Secure SCADA integration with encrypted remote monitoring
- Emergency response plans with full technical support
- Hardened physical infrastructure
- Rapid fault detection, isolation and restoration
